Why the Defense-AI Trade Is Back in Focus
BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BBAI) heads into the week of Monday, December 22 with a familiar mix of ingredients that tend to light up its chart: defense-tech headlines, an acquisition storyline, a shareholder vote with dilution implications, and unusually heavy trading activity.
Because December 21, 2025 is a Sunday, U.S. markets are closed—so the “latest” price action is effectively Friday’s close and after-hours positioning. As of the last session, BBAI finished around $6.26 after a sharp ~11% one-day move. [1]
